You really should give more information. The main being what version of twrp you tried to use.
I'm going to assume you tried 2.6.3.2 which will not flash 4.4 Roms. You need to download the 2.6.3.3 or latter tarp zip and flash it in recovery.
If my assumption is wrong then my apologies and I have no idea what the issue may be aside from maybe a bad IMG was pushed.

2.6.3.4 flashes 4.4 Roms but has issues with 4.3
2.6.3.3 flashes both fine.
If you can't find a working 2.6.3.3 zip and want it then let me know. If I dig around I can find it. I've been hearing the 2.6.3.3 zip on the official site is nonworkinf

Well that solves the issue then cm 11 is a 4.4 ROM

So all you need to do then is update it by flashing the appropriate zip you want to use.
In Verizon development the thread should still be there for 2.6.3.4 even though it says it is discontinued it works. Just know that there are issues with using it with 4.3 Roms

No, use this thread to find the right version and procedure for your phone.

I followed that thread got the recovery but it isn't up to date anymore. I was looking to see why cm 11 keeps failing and I ended up here. Lol. Thanks

You need to find the TWRP 2.6.3.3 for your model then you should be able to flash android 4.4 ROMs
Sent from my LG-VS980 using xda app-developers app

That's what I thought but I can't find a flashable zip. Only an .img file. Twrp doesn't even see it. Flashify doesn't either. So I was going to try and push it. But that draws concerns about loki. This locked bootloader stuff is new to me and I can't find information about it so I can make informed decisions. I don't like asking these questions on here because I'm sure they've been asked before. So I've been for going over threads for days now with minimal progress

Yeah nothing, even on twrp website the latest that's hosted is the one I have. What is confusing me is a lot of tmo owners are saying they've got Cm11 up and running. But it seems I missed out on the recovery train. All threads point to the d800 and your vs980. But I'll keep fighting the good fight. Thanks though

Yeah Cwm is awesome, it just didn't work on my nexus 4 but I don't know how to switch from twrp to cwm. I can look into that more. That's prolly what I'll do tomorrow.
I'm out of time tonight

To flash from twrp to cwm just use flashify to flash the cwm image easy take no time at all to do and then you can 4.4.2 ROMs

Not able to flash gapps in recovery

Tried with tarp and cwm I also tried 2 different gapps. In twrp it just says failed in red. Any advice
It sounds like you can't get into recovery, twrp. You're probably going to have to odin the stock firmware. Did you check the md5 of the rom file you downloaded? I'm guessing it was a bad download.
Thanks I have a new issue now

The md5s all check out tho so it shouldn't be bad downloads. It seemed to back up and restore fine but I couldn't flash sacs rom and couldn't flash a different recovery. In a sense can I re-download twrp by flashing another kernel with mobile Odin then using Goo manager to reinstall twrp?

Getting a rom to flash

I finally got twrp to install on att after ota. The version is 2.6.3.0. I did it with the freegee app. I made a back up of my stock rom. I tried to flash Aeon rom but it will not boot. I flashed it twice like it says in the thread. I saw were some people were having issues getting it to boot. I cant get recovery to update to the newest version. I tried using flashify and also flashing in recovery. Will i be able to flash a rom on 2.6.3.0.

I can get into rcovery but when i flashed the Aneo rom and rebooted it just showed the LG symbol thrn cut off. Also i can't get a newer version of twrp to install. Im on 2.6.3.0

I can't upgrade twrp either. I think mine has something to do with my.OTA and root after. Tonight, after I find all the required files, I'm going to flash back to stock, pre-OTA and try again.

Would assume it's your recovery. You can't flash 2.6.3.3?

You said you couldn't get Intl recovery to update twrp. Download 2.6.3.3, go into recovery and flash that zip. It will update your twrp and you'll have no issues flashing 4.4 ROMs.
I don't suggest using 2.6.3.4 because people have reported issues with it.

If you can't just flash the 2.6.3.3 zip, then I have no idea what to suggest. I installed twrp by pushing it from my computer and was able to update with no issues. You will not be able to flash 4.4 ROMs with anything less than 2.6.3.3

CWM Recovery error

Everytime I try to install a rom or any zip file in cwm, it could all files and everything but towards the end it says error loky-fying or something like that. Thanks to this my device was stuck in a boot loop for a while. It installs like 1/4 of the rom. Enough to see the boot logo and then it reboots.
I also got this error installing the white display and see through notification panel. Although it is working fully.

Yes go back to stock and download freegee app in the market.. One click twrp install with the Loki bypass.. Easy as cake..cwm is poop

Will this delete app/user data? Flashing CWM did not
If so is there any known workaround at all?
